BigstockThese relationships will play a critical role on our developmental journeyThere is no denying that Bangladesh’s journey towards sustainable development will depend greatly on how we create meaningful relationships with our neighbours. In this regard, it is encouraging to see that the current government has prioritized such long-term thinking, with Bangladesh most recently signing seven MoUs with India, covering various sectors such as energy and agriculture. Similarly, Bangladesh’s relationship with India can also be traced throughout history, and it is of the utmost importance that we continue build on our friendship by working together and creating opportunities for mutual benefit. This most recent MoU will see framework agreements and contribute greatly to areas such as high-impact community development projects and cooperation between various governmental institutions such as our museums and our hydrocarbon and agricultural sectors. These relationships will play a critical role in our developmental journey and continue to provide dividends far into the future as we inch closer each day to middle-income status.
